	Greg Sandow -- Barenboim Plays Beethoven
		Barenboim how he played the beginning of the piece, which breathes itself into existence, with no announcement, fuss, or introduction.
		Barenboim says no: "I feel that Beethoven writes the fermata to show you only that the notes are out of time." Or, in other words, that you simply play the music freely; these are the leaps you have to make to bring a printed score alive.
		Barenboim knows more than anybody, though, to be fair, he also very seriously explained more reasons why he disagreed with me. I wish I were free to hear him play the "Pastorale" on June 22 at Carnegie.

	classical music - andante - barenboim and the chicago symphony at carnegie hall
		He and Barenboim ought to have been in synch (they have recorded four-handed Schubert together in addition to their onstage meetings), yet Lupu — who, bearded and bear-like, resembled Brahms somewhat, particularly when he stiff-armed the piano as the composer does in a famous painting — seemed to be in a strange mood.
		Barenboim forged the ideal rocking rhythm in the towering first movement; in the giant's jig of a Scherzo, the CSO delivered detail along with extreme dynamics.

	Al-Ahram Weekly \| Culture \| Barenboim and the Wagner taboo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		As Barenboim has frequently pointed out, none of Wagner's operas have any immediately anti-semitic material in them; more bluntly, the Jews he hated and wrote about in his pamphlets are simply not at all to be found as Jews in his musical works.
		Barenboim is head of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, as well as the Berlin State Opera, whose orchestra he was leading on tour in Israel for the three consecutive concerts presented in Jerusalem.
		Barenboim is clearly an artist who overturns obstacles, crosses forbidden lines, and enters in taboo or forbidden territory.

	BARENBOIM'S OUTSTANDING BEETHOVEN
		Barenboim has made matters even more difficult by expressing a life-long admiration for Wilhelm Furtwängler, leading lazy listeners to ceaselessly compare him to his idol, always to his disadvantage, and notwithstanding the fact that he has already given every evidence (in Bruckner and Wagner, for example) of being just as talented, if not more so.
		Barenboim's Beethoven symphony cycle is the most emotionally complete, humane, and perfectly realized series of non-period instrument performances of this music to have appeared in decades.
		Barenboim's achievement clearly demonstrates that a wonderful tradition is alive, vital, and still capable of renewal through intelligent understanding expressed in partnership with a like-minded orchestra, and above all, through supreme musicianship on the podium.

	Alex Ross: The Rest Is Noise: Barenboim in Chicago
		He is, Barenboim said, “permanently dependent on the ability and willingness of the musicians to play in a certain way.” A conductor deserves his title, Barenboim went on, only when he has acquired the players’ trust.
		Barenboim is now sixty-three, and, although he had gravitas even in his youth, something in his work has deepened.
		Barenboim conducted with a broad beat, trying at times for profound effects that either he was unable to articulate or the orchestra was unwilling to execute.

	Barenboim at Carnegie Hall by Jay Nordlinger (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Barenboim, born in 1942, is celebrating this year the fiftieth anniversary of his debut, at the age of seven, in his native Buenos Aires.
		In his twenties, Barenboim was seemingly everywhere: playing Beethoven concertos with Otto Klemperer, conducting the English Chamber Orchestra, and, most memorably, playing chamber music—with his wife, the late Jacqueline du Pré, and Itzhak Perlman, and Pinchas Zukerman, and Zubin Mehta, and the rest of that golden crowd.
		Barenboim, given his boyhood in Argentina, might be expected to be particularly idiomatic in Spanish music, and he is, somewhat—but no more so, really, than in other types of music.

	ArtandCulture Artist: Daniel Barenboim (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		As both a conductor and a virtuoso pianist, Daniel Barenboim approaches each of his projects from a dual perspective: he sees a piece as both a physical, sonorous expression and as a structural whole.
		Barenboim’s career began in Buenos Aires (the city of his birth) when he was a scant seven years old.
		In everything he approaches, Barenboim feels the music with the sensibility of an intrumentalist, orchestrating rhythm and pace with a sense for the specific expressive features of each composition.

	Barenboim conducts talk with Randel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Barenboim noted that one of the great challenges involved with performing the music of Schoenberg is that it is extremely difficult for a musician to rise to the level of “freedom of expression.” Schoenberg himself is known to have acknowledged the technical difficulty of his works, which he considered an obstacle to understanding his music.
		Barenboim spoke of Haydn as a master of punctuating monotony with stops, which instead of serving as a musical transition, has a great capacity for observation.
		Barenboim seeks to expose children to music, “in the hope that it will become a necessity for them, and radically change the place of music in society.” Barenboim believes that in the present age music has lost much of the social importance it once held.
